Available in fixed voltages of 2.8 V, 3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V, the family has an output tolerance of 0.75% for the A-grade devices (1.25% for the standard grade) and is capable of delivering 100-mA continuous load current. Standard regulator features, such as overcurrent and overtemperature protection, are included. The LP2981 has features that make the regulator an ideal candidate for a variety of portable applications: • Low dropout: A PNP pass element allows a typical dropout of 200 mV at 100-mA load current and 7 mV at 1-mA load. • Low quiescent current: The use of a vertical PNP process allows for quiescent currents that are considerably lower than those associated with traditional lateral PNP regulators. • Shutdown: A shutdown feature is available, allowing the regulator to consume only 0.01 μA when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low. • Small packaging: For the most space-constrained needs, the regulator is available in the SOT-23 package.

Submit Documentation Feedback 5 LP2981 100-mA ULTRA-LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR WITH SHUTDOWN www.ti.com SLVS521D – JULY 2004 – REVISED JULY 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION Capacitors Input Capacitor (Cin) A minimum value of 1 μF (over the entire operating temperature range) is required at the input of the LP2981. In addition, this input capacitor should be located within 1 cm of the input pin and connected to a clean analog ground. There is no Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) requirement for this capacitor, and the capacitance can be increased without limit. A good quality ceramic or tantalum capacitor can be used. Output Capacitor (Cout) As a PNP regulator, the LP2981 requires the output capacitor to meet both a minimum capacitance and ESR value. Required ESR values as a function of load current are provided for various output voltages, load currents, and capacitances (see Figure 2 through Figure 5). • Minimum Cout: 3.3 μF (can be increased without limit to improve transient response stability margin) • ESR range: see Figure 2 through Figure 5 ESR − Ω ESR − Ω It is critical that both the minimum capacitance and ESR requirement be met over the entire operating temperature range. Depending on the type of capacitor used, both of these parameters can vary significantly with temperature (see capacitor characteristics section).

For instance, a typical 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor has an ESR in the range of 10 mΩ to 20 mΩ and, thus, easily can fall out of minimum ESR requirements under certain operating conditions. If a ceramic capacitor is used at the output, a 1-Ω resistor should be placed in series with the capacitor to raise the ESR seen by the regulator. Tantalum Solid tantalum capacitors are optimal choices for the LP2981, but they still must meet the minimum ESR requirement. Note that the ESR of a tantalum capacitor increases as temperature drops, as much as doubling from 25°C to –40°C. Thus, ESR margins must be maintained over the temperature range to prevent regulator instability. For operation at very low temperatures, paralleling a tantalum capacitor with a ceramic one keeps the combined ESR from increasing near the upper limit of the ESR curve. Aluminum Aluminum capacitors can be used, but use with the LP2981 is impractical due to their large physical dimensions. They also must meet the ESR requirements over the full temperature range. In this regard, aluminium capacitors are at a big disadvantage due to their sharp ESR increase as temperature drops. For example, over a temperature drop from 20°C to –40°C, the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor can increase by a factor of 50. In addition, some of the electrolytes used in these capacitors can freeze at –25°C, making the capacitor nonoperational. ON/OFF Operation The LP2981 allows for a shutdown mode via the ON/OFF pin. If the shutdown feature is not used, ON/OFF should be connected to the input to ensure that the regulator is on at all times. To drive ON/OFF: • A LOW (≤0.3 V) turns the regulator OFF; a HIGH (≥1.6 V) turns it ON. • Use either a totem-pole output or an open-collector output with a pullup resistor tied to VIN (or another logic supply). The HIGH signal can exceed VIN, but must not exceed the absolute maximum ratings of 20 V for the ON/OFF pin. • Apply a signal with a slew rate of ≥40 mV/μs. A slow slew rate can cause the shutdown function to operate incorrectly.

VIN VOUT With the anode connected to the output, this diode is reverse biased during normal operation, since the input voltage is higher than the output. However, if the output is pulled one VBE higher than the input, or if the input is abruptly stepped below the output, this diode is forward biased and can cause a parasitic silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) to latch, resulting in current flowing from the output to the input (values in excess of 100 mA can cause damage). Thus, to prevent possible damage to the regulator in any application where the output may be pulled above the input, an external Schottky diode must be connected between the output and input. With the anode on output, this Schottky limits the reverse voltage across the output and input pins to ∼0.3 V, preventing the regulator's internal diode from forward biasing.
